ALKALINITY As many of you know, the opposite of acidic water is alkaline water. What many do not realize is that alkaline and alkalinity are two totally different things. For example ‘sparkling water’ otherwise known as ‘carbonated water’ which normally has a pH of 6.3 is far higher in alkalinity than ‘still uncarbonated water’ that […]

Cell Signalling and Molecular Hydrogen
Alkaway resident Naturopath Erica has just completed a presentation of her summation of the scientific studies on cell signalling. Cell signalling is something few people understand, but let’s face it- that’s a pretty weak reason to ignore it, especially if it holds powerful health benefits. The analogy that seems to make most sense to me is of […]

PAINKILLERS DOUBLING THE RISK FOR DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT)
Common painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen almost double the risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, two lethal conditions. The NSAIDs (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs), some of the most common drugs in the world, increase the risk of DVT 1.8 fold, a new study has discovered. The risk is “significant”, say researchers […]
Pepsi want to carbonate snacks now to give them ‘Fizz’.
In a new ‘inspired’ way to make more megabucks, PepsiCo has decided to carbonate snacks to give them more ‘Fizz’. This news reminded me of a blogpost I saw recently by a lady chef that boggled my mind. I truly believe that Americans and Australians have utterly lost their ability to discern good food, much […]
Just what does Fracking do to our drinking water? Read and be scared.
‘Fracking’ Wastewater That Is Treated For Drinking Produces Potentially Harmful Compounds “Enhanced Formation of Disinfection By-Products in Shale Gas Wastewater-Impacted Drinking Water Supplies” Environmental Science & Technology Concerns that fluids from hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” are contaminating drinking water abound. Now, scientists are bringing to light another angle that adds to the controversy. A new […]
The perfect water for the perfect Coffee
Christopher Hendon has written a paper* on the role of water in coffee brewing. The various methods below are evaluated relative to the water’s acceptability in supporting that perfect brew of Ol’ Joe. Polyphosphate/siliphos treated water: A polyphosphate/siliphos filter only releases polyphosphate to the treated water in order to form a thin, protective […]

Alkaline Diet or Low Carb Diet.. Is there a difference?
We hear it time and again: Dietary fat is not good for us, it promotes heart disease and gives us dangerously high cholesterol levels. No matter how many studies show that a low-fat diet is in fact making us sick… and fat, this advice just never seems to change… at least, that is until now. • […]
What we can all look forward to in medical fashion.
“Good Evening! Oh! I do like your new outfit. So.. er…” Kidney failure typically leads to people regularly wasting a great deal of their time being tethered to a dialysis machine. Though they’re life savers, dialysis machines have not kept up with much of the rest of the medical device industry in getting smaller, […]
It Takes 3 Litres of water to produce one litre of bottled water. Is that dumb or what?
Empty water bottles are now the no 1 polluter So why not filter your own water? In the long run it’s less expensive by far – and you are safe in the knowledge that it really is filtered. So having the right filter is paramount. Look for a water filter that does more than filter. […]
Paracetamol no better than placebo for lower back pain.
Australian investigators found that paracetamol (acetaminophen) for acute low-back pain was no more effective than placebo in a large randomized trial. They reported similar recovery times with acetaminophen, whether taken regularly or as needed, or placebo. Their study was published online July 24, 2014, in The Lancet. The Paracetamol for Lowe-Back Paid Study, known as […]
